25th Nov: LMS Class 5MT 4-6-0 No. 44871 The Christmas Sussex Belle (Railway Touring Company) 1Z72 1050 London Victoria to Eastbourne. The good news was that the weather was perfectly on our side and there were no other trains joined in the frame (but Thames Link 9S21 0954 Cambridge to Brighton via avoider running 21L was just behind 1Z72, phew...) but the bad news was there was not much steam at all. Class 47 No. 47802 on the rear. Redhill-Earlswood.
